“Much wisdom
shines through this extraordinary collection of superbly constructed essays,
addressing the conundrum of how an immaterial mind emerges from a material
brain.”

In Cerebrum 2013: Emerging Ideas in Brain Science, some of the world’s
leading thinkers discuss the newest ideas and implications arising from
discoveries about the brain.

In his foreword, neuroscientist
Bruce McEwen, Ph.D., discusses the dramatic progress made in neuroendrocrinology–his area of expertise–over the course of his career. We see this
continuing scientific evolution through the essays in Cerebrum 2013. Experts such as Chris Nowinski, Philip Shaw, Ph.D.,
and Steven E. Hyman, M.D., delve into topics including the lasting damage repetitive
head trauma may cause athletes, progress in the treatment of ADHD, and the
serious decline in psychiatric drug development despite the increasing prevalence
of mental disorders. Drawn from Cerebrum,
the Dana Foundation’s highly regarded online journal, this fifth anthology
brings together a cross-section of prominent neuroscientists to offer
commentary on the impact of today’s research on tomorrow’s social debate.
